Filmmaker Phoebe Hunt arrives at Tempus Tours to document Inigo Frank's commercial time travel business. She expects to film wealthy clients returning from historical adventures. Instead, she witnesses a billionaire property developer and his family stumbling back bloodied and shaken, one member missing entirely. The absent woman isn't who she claimed to be, and Phoebe knows her real identity. Worse, this woman has serious reasons to hate Phoebe. As the mystery deepens, Phoebe realizes the missing traveler had dark plans for her journey into the past. The consequences now threaten everyone Phoebe cares about in the present. She must uncover what happened in history before the ripple effects destroy her world.
